[PATCH] hostap: Add fuzz to idle-timer calculations.

[greearb at candelatech.com]

From: Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com>

This should keep us from getting into a state where we bounce
large numbers of interfaces all at once.  Spreading out the
bounce should cause less stress on the network as the idle
stations won't all be trying to reconnect at once.
